Iden fying the role of ar ficial intelligence in students' learning in
higher educa on
Background
Higher educa on in the 21st century is evolving rapidly, driven by technological
advances, globaliza on, and changing student demographics. Ar ficial intelligence
plays a vital role in upgrading the quality of higher educa on in numerous ways. AI-
powered learning approaches have been employed to evaluate students’
performance records, determine their strengths and weaknesses, and provide them
with learning experiences that are personalized to meet each person's needs. This
approach provides students with a tool kit model to gain knowledge more
effec vely with a produc ve outcome. AI-based technology such as Chatbots,
Virtual Assistance tools, and Adap ve Learning Systems offer immersive and
engaging learning experiences that allow students to discover complex theories and
solu ons in a more interac ve and meaningful manner. In assessment and
feedback, AI assists in grading and appraising student assignments. Similarly, AI-
powered chatbots offer learners immediate and personalized assistance for their
academic and organiza onal needs, such as answering ques ons about course
materials. In higher educa on, persistent challenges such as unequal access, limited
using diversity, and the inadequacy of catering to diverse learning styles pose
significant challenges. Moreover, reliance on tradi onal assessment methods fails
to fully understand students’ knowledge, skills, and prac cal applica on, with
limited tools for assessing and enhancing non-cogni ve skills.
Literature Reviews:
Ar ficial intelligence has been increasingly integrated into various sectors,
including higher educa on. Previous studies explored the use of AI in higher
educa on, including its applica ons, challenges, and opportuni es.
Ar ficial intelligence has the poten al to revolu onize the way teachers
engage with students and perform their roles in higher educa on. AI tools
have been used in many ins tu ons to engage in learning ac vi es more
produc ve way (Cui et al., 2019). The studies emphasized users’ a tudes
toward adop ng AI for personalized professional development, course
design, grading and assessment, and student support (Franzoni et al., 2020;
Rahimi & Tafazoli, 2022). Recent studies explored teachers’ a tudes and
behavior in engaging AI-integrated CRM system and their digital
competencies which enhance work engagement (Cha erjee et al., 2021; Ng
et al., 2023). Further, Moreira-Fontán et al. (2019) explored the posi ve
emo ons and a tudes of academic staff members toward ICT-related
aspects that boost their work engagement. Based on these findings the
rela onship between users’ a tudes and behaviors towards AI on work
engagement is inevitable.
J) Interdisciplinary Research:
AI’s power to analyze diverse datasets across fields facilitates interdisciplinary
collabora on and projects, broadening the scope of research and enriching
academic discourse (Bere a et al., 2021). This interdisciplinary poten al
exemplifies how AI reshapes the boundaries of research.
L) Epistemological Impact:
AI’s influence extends beyond methods to the very founda ons of knowledge. By
enabling large-scale, complex analyses, AI alters what is considered researchable
and knowable (Bzdok et al., 2019). However, its limita ons in areas like causal
inference and qualita ve analysis—especially in the humani es and social
sciences—underscore the fact that AI cannot yet fully replicate human intellectual
inquiry (Brooks, 2021; Sloane & Moss, 2019).
